Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a powder replenishment device IC, such as a powder coating device, which replenishes a supply tank with powder paint or the like.

Conventionally, powder Δ and replenishment stagger means in the supply tank were as follows:
(a) Remove the lid, bring the second replenishment container close to the opening of the direct supply tank, and gradually invert the replenishment container to pour the powder under its own weight.

(b) The replenishment container is shaped like a container that can also be used as a supply tank, and the open part is directly connected to the device.

In (a), when replenishing at a low position, the scattering range of powder is relatively narrow, but if the replenishment tank is at a high position, a separate conveyance device is required. This requires high capital investment and replenishment at high locations.
This method has the disadvantage that the scattering range of the powder becomes wider and the environmental management becomes worse, and in (b), although there is no problem associated with the scattering of the powder, it has disadvantages such as high equipment investment.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional replenishing devices mentioned above, and is easy to operate, does not scatter powder, and requires low capital investment. This is what we offer.

One of the configurations of this invention is a supply tank,
A bellows-shaped hose with one end connected to the supply tank, a connector provided at the other end of the hose, and a small diameter portion removably connected to the connector. a guide member, a supply container for storing powder and having an open end removably attached to the large diameter portion of the guide member, and a transfer means for vertically moving the supply container in a state where the supply container and the connecting tool are connected. The powder replenishment device is configured by a powder replenishing device, and the connecting device is provided with a shielding mechanism for communicating and cutting off the inside of the replenishing container and the hose, and this shielding mechanism is provided with an opening that opens in the connecting device. It consists of an operating body.

The present invention will be described below with reference to drawings showing one embodiment thereof.

In the figure, 1 is a large tank for supplying powder paint etc. to a coating device (not shown) from an internal outlet 1a, and one end of a flexible hose 2 is connected to an opening 1bK at the top. .

Reference numeral 3 denotes a replenishment device provided at the other end of the hose 2, which includes a connector 3a connected to the other end of the hose 2, and a sliding type that arbitrarily blocks communication between the connector 3a and the hose 2. It is composed of a shielding mechanism 3b.

Here, the shielding mechanism 3b includes an operation plate 3c that is slidably inserted into a groove (not shown) provided in the connector 3a, and an operation plate 3c that is provided and coincides with the opening of the hose 2. It is composed of an opening 3d.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a replenishment container with a lid used for general transportation such as a container called a drum can, and 5 a truncated conical guide attached in place of the lid (not shown) of the replenishment container 4 with a lid. The member is open at its upper and lower end surfaces, and is removably attached to the replenishment container 4 with a lid at its large diameter portion by a connecting means (not shown) such as a belt.

The small-diameter portion of the guide member 5 is detachably attached to the connector 3a, and its connection structure may be of a conventionally known configuration, so explanation and illustration thereof will be omitted.

Further, a guide member 5 is attached to the supply container 4 with a lid.

During transportation, the upper opening of the guide member 5 is closed with a lid 5 as appropriate.
It is blocked by aK.

In the above configuration, when replenishing, the replenishment container 5 containing the powder
1, connect the connecting tool 3a equipped with the shielding mechanism 3b of the replenishment device 3 shown in FIG. Gradually invert to the state shown by the dotted line.

Thereby, the powder in the container 5 is transferred by its own weight into the large supply tank 1 via the hose 2.

Thereafter, the supply container 5 is returned to the normal position, the hose 2 and the connector 3a are shielded by the shielding mechanism 3b, and the guide member 5 and the connector 3a are separated.

Therefore, when supplying powder into the large tank 1, the work can be done smoothly and in a short time using the guide member 5, and the powder will not be scattered around.
Can keep the environment in good condition.

Furthermore, the work involved in supplying it is simple. Automation is also possible.

In this embodiment, the case of powder coating has been described, but the same can be applied to other cases of handling powder, and the gist is not departed from.

As described above, according to the present invention, when transferring powder to a supply container, the powder can be transferred smoothly by the guide member, and the connection between the hose and the supply container is sealed by the guide member. This improves the workplace environment by preventing powder from scattering around the workplace, and the shielding mechanism also improves the workplace environment.

It has various advantages, such as the adjustment of the supply amount being extremely easy and automation possible.
